Joint or Double Degree Programs with International Partners

International Study Programs

There is the possibility of developing and implementing study programs together with international partner universities. Here, among other things, a good existing partnership and intensive trusting cooperation between the institutions are important.

Important for the understanding and structure of international study programs is the clarification of the often ambiguously used terminology of joint degree programs and double degree programs.

  • A joint degree program is a joint study program that is completed at TU Dortmund University and the respective partner university and leads to a degree.
     
  • A double degree program, on the other hand, is a coordinated program of study that is completed on a pro-rata basis and leads to two separate degrees.

Available support at TU Dortmund University
